Help me Build a Survey for Managers

Hello everyone.  We write and frequently speak on the topics that concern managers of real estate offices.  However, it occurred to us that it's due time we discover an effective way to receive your input about the pertinent issues that exist in your field of work.

Survey says... We've chosen to obtain this valuable information about the current challenges real estate professionals face by designing a survey, intended to gather relevant information regarding the management of real estate offices.

But, I need your help…  We would like as many of you as possible (Managers, Agents, GM's, Directors, C-Levels, Owners…and anyone I left out) to respond to me through my email davidm@tidemarkonline.com and post questions that you feel should be considered for the survey.  We'd like the questions to be formulated in such a way that they can be answered in varying degrees.

For example:

Managers in our company are given clear performance objectives.
This can be answered (1) VERY TRUE, (2) SOMEWHAT TRUE, (3) INCONSISTENTLY, or (4) NEVER.

Or…

I spend the following percentage of time Recruiting:
(1) 1-5%, (2) around 10%, (3) More than 20%, or (4) NONE

Get creative.  What do you really want to know about your fellow managers, nationwide?  You can ask anything.  I'll keep this post brief so that you can spend some time considering some questions, click my email address, and then send them over.

ALSO– I guarantee that the source of all questions will be anonymous, unless you indicate that you would like for us to let others know you were helpful in building this survey.

When we're done building it, we'll send the link out to take the survey, and let you all know the results once they're compiled.

Thank you for your time,

Dave
